Kilt n00b says "hi"
Hi, everyone.
For the past several years I've gotten the urge to get buy a kilt for no apparent reason (other than the obvious: they look awesome). My wife likes the idea of me getting one, but she's been of the opinion that it would only make sense for me to wear a kilt in my clan tartan. Since I haven't been able to find one cheaper than $200 and I'm not prepared to spend that on an article of clothing that I'm not even sure I'll like, the urges usually don't last long.
The urge struck again a week ago and this time, and this time I've taken my first baby-steps into the kilt world by ordering a Stillwater Thrifty Kilt in Black Stewart. I know it won't have the same look and feel as big wool kilt, but for the price I can't not get one to test it out. At the very least it will show me if my toothpick legs will look as rridiculous as I fear they will sticking out the bottom of a kilt.

Welcome from New Hampshire.
The Thrifty Kilt might be a good place to start.
I imagine Clan MacPig would be hard to find and expensive.

welcome from Germany.
Now I'm off to our monthly pipe club meet, kilted with two other lads (our own premature tartan day)

Hello Clever,
Welcome to XMarks from the middle of Thetford Forest in Norfolk, England.
Good thinking, buying a cheaper kilt first. And, of course, you will need it later because you won't want to wear your good kilt all the time!
Regards
Chas

Hi!
As the wife of a fellow spindly-legged type guy and a general admirer of kilted mens, I suggest you also get a good pair of kilt hose in a rich jewel tone. It will help to make those legs of yours like marvelous!

Hello and welcome from Ohio, and nothing wrong with starting out with a cheaper kilt because that's what I did and now the sickness is deeply routed.

Don't worry about the legs - it's amazing how many times people have pretended their legs are an excuse for not even trying a kilt. They suit many different leg possibilities.
